ALBANY — They are gruesome artifacts of violence, now in possession of the State Museum.

The surviving fragments reveal details of the Attica prison uprising — five tense days in September 1971 that ultimately left 29 inmates and 10 prison-employee hostages dead, along with nearly 100 more seriously injured.

There is a tiny New Testament printed in Spanish and wallet-sized snapshots of a young girl that fell out of the pockets of an inmate who was shot and killed. There are dozens of baseball bats and common tools including claw hammers and screwdrivers that inmates turned into makeshift weapons; Molotov cocktails fashioned out of empty instant-coffee jars; a guard’s cap knocked off his head in the melee; an inmate’s blood-caked sweatshirt with a bullet hole in the chest.

One by one, the items were tagged as state evidence and stored in upstate Batavia.
